Bowers-Borckardt Die State I. Dr. Hesselgesser owns the all-time
finest PCGS Registry set of early dollars by die marriage. A "die
dot" inside the lower portion of the R in LIBERTY identifies the
obverse, while the reverse show a somewhat similar die defect to
the left of the second T in STATES. In this early die state, there
are no visible die cracks on either side. Considerable luster
remains on both sides, accented by light to medium gold in
combination with peripheral blue on the obverse rim. Minor wear on
the cheek and scroll determines the grade.Ex: Queller Family Collection of Silver Dollars (Heritage,
